Description:

At VPN.sh, we've been looking into the possibility of providing unlimited bandwidth VPN's for some time now, and we're just about ready to finally announce that this is ready! We've worked hard to be able to provide this, and are now ready to launch.

This is a very limited offer as a celebration of us launching the unlimited bandwidth packages, where you can get your unlimited bandwidth VPN for just £1/year. We only have a very limited amount of stock for this, however all current clients will be able to get access to 50% off for their first year once we officially launch the packages in a couple of days (standard pricing will be £30/year), so if you miss out on this offer, you can still get a great discount - just drop us an email at [email protected] if you miss out!

As with all of our VPN packages, you'll get access to all of our 24 worldwide locations (more coming soon!).

NOTE: This VPN service does not allow torrents and warez

    Is this £1/Year price perpetual, or only for the first year and then reverts to standard pricing?

    • cynix on 05/08/2015 - 22:59

      It says "Recurring Amount: £1.00GBP" so I'm assuming it's perpetual.

    • ozgeek on 05/08/2015 - 23:01

      Think it's perptual. When I checkout'ed, it says 1 pound annually.

      • Tech45 on 06/08/2015 - 01:07

        I think it's only for the first year. Normally if its a recurring thing, they show it as a repeat payment when you go through paypal and make your agree to those terms etc, which wasn't the case for this.

        • Gustave on 06/08/2015 - 01:23

          Can't speak for this specific plan/deal, but regarding the one I'm currently on it's not like an auto-debit set-up - they sent an invoice e-mail about a month or so before the deal expired and from memory it was just a matter of following the relevant link to make another payment to re-up.

        • Axelstrife on 06/08/2015 - 01:53

          well on my paypal it's set to come out every 12 months and in the amail from them not paypal it's saying it's a recurring payment annually.

      Hi there, representative from VPN.sh here.

      This is a recurring amount, so you'll be locked in at this price point for as long as you wish to renew. If you haven't setup a PayPal subscription for the product, then you'll just receive your invoice in 12 months time for £1/year again. If you decide to renew, there will be no further costs than the £1/year, and of course you can decide to simply cancel if you wish as well.

      Hope that clarifies!

        Are you able to help Resolve an Overcharge (which we discussed, in a former Deal offer from VPN.sh), please?

        Also - I haven't been able to get the level of support I need to get this working on an iPad (the device I needed a VPN for) - I want a FULL REFUND.

        Total: UKP 4.

        I'd like to resolve this - once & for all - ASAP.

        (Send me a Private, so I can reply Private, if you need info to work on this.)

    ive been looking at getting a vpn for awhile but all the different companies and their policies confused me a bit. my main concern is I may wish to use pirate bay sometime and some don't allow this. can anyone recommend to me how to go about this

    • ntt on 05/08/2015 - 22:58

      Same question

    • triviums on 05/08/2015 - 23:04

      Since they don't keep logs that can tell if your on piratebay, I think it should be fine. Most companies usual just say a few things like that for legality reasons…

      • kima on 05/08/2015 - 23:09

        according to some past posts some do keep logs though and do kick you off

      • 2be8 on 05/08/2015 - 23:13

        Can you point out where they say they don't keep logs? The closest the privacy policy seems to come to saying anything about logging is this:

        "Information Automatically Logged
        We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site. We use this information for no other reason."

        I guess that could imply that they don't keep any other traffic logs, but it isn't what I would call explicit compared to NordVPN:
        "NordVPN keeps you 100% anonymous online, and we never log the activities of our users."
        Proxy.sh:
        "We do not keep any logs internally. The only thing we log here is your e-mail address and your purchase details (your invoices linked to your e-mail and your product details). We do no log your activity on our proxy (neither the authentification nor the traffic). We don't even know whether you use our proxy or not"
        PIA:
        "No traffic logs"
        Cyberghost:
        "Log data: CyberGhost keeps no logs which enable interference with your IP address, the moment or content of your data traffic. We make express reference to the fact that we do not record in logs communication contents or data regarding the accessed websites or the IP addresses."

          From a post from rep:

          Hey :). We log connection/disconnection time, as well as total amount of bandwidth used (so that we can keep on top of users bandwidth limits).

          We do not log the data which you access whilst connected to our VPN service.

          Hope that helps!

          "We do not keep any logs internally."

          So they straight away forward it to the authorities?

          +7

          @dosada: We haven't ever forwarded any logs to any authorities. Nothing is kept, and we've had no requests for any data by and government authority at any point in time. If all of a sudden a bunch servers are being replaced and new IP's are being assigned, then it's safe to assume that we've received a request, dropped the server as a precaution, and started a fresh.

          We have had IP changes in the past that are purely coincidental (example: us going to a different data centre for a specific location), but if a bunch happen simultaneously, then that's when I'd advise to tread carefully and watch what you're accessing.

          I like to keep things as open as possible, and I'm happy to answer any specific questions that you guys may have that you want to keep private. You can email me on [email protected] - I'll try to answer as quickly as possible, but it may take some time as this offer is getting some traction!

          Thanks,

          I'm using Australia2 server.
          I tried these on utorrent client software:
          Enable UPnP port mapping
          Enable NAT-PMP port mapping
          Add Windows Firewall exception

          still no luck.

        It's impossible to not keep logs for a VPN service, there will always be minimal logging. You can't have a VPN service and not keep logs, they need to prevent DDOS attacks, those who try to hack into the system, and handle DNS requests. On top of this if they limit customers to say 1 or 2 connections at a time, without logs, how would they know this? Otherwise you could give out your connection details to all your friends.

        hold up. thats completely wrong and very misleading.

        VPN's don't block websites, they block p2p file transfer. this means you can access piratebay and download the torrent but it wont work once opened up in a client.

  • ozgeek on 05/08/2015 - 22:58

    Maybe it's just me, but when the checkout process for a VPN service asks for my name, address, and only allows PayPal I figure it is time to keep looking.

    Had a quick look through their terms / conditions / privacy policy. If you're wanting a VPN for privacy, I'm not sure this is the VPN for you. It seems they're more than happy to log customer usage and hand it over whenever requests are made…

      I bought this from a previous OzB deal offer.

      I was OVERCHARGED (due to the way the deal was written:

      1. I bought in at a bandwidth-limited level
      2. I later "UPGRADED" to the Unlimited ver.
      3. VPN.SH charged me the SUM of the 2 plan costs,
        . rather than the higher of their 2 prices, ie
        . as their Rep later told us to eexpect the "up-
        . grade" to cost folks who did what I did.

      I NEVER managed to get them to Refund the Overcharge.

      Finally, I never got VPN.sh's service to work, &
      Support was useless.

      Other VPN pr9viders have much easier to access services,
      Eg ußing ampn app or (for iOS) auto-setup.

      We are NOT happy with the support received from VPN.sh

      In which case they get $2 and you get nothing of value - not exactly a bargain. If they can get enough people to sign up and shrug off poor service, then it's called a business model.
      (Note: I haven't experienced their service at all, although others are making pretty negative statements here about it. My comment is more about how spending $2 to get something broken or useless isn't a bargain.)

        Yes, steff is right. You can extract the folder to any location. I first extracted it to my desktop but then moved it to the folder where Open VPN is installed for the sake of order. I am using it right now. I checked online and it works fine.
        You should have received an email from them (called VPN activation). If you follow the instructions in that email it works fine.

      I had no customer service response from them at all. Got the service working off and on for about a week and then it stopped. No response from vpn.sh. I submitted a paypal claim and they didn't respond to that either. Using nordvpn now.

    Haven't seen my email yet. Paid about 2 hrs ago and want to test it before going to bed. :(

    Thanks! Snapped one up!

    Still no sign of the email with the required IP address/OpenVPN profile to use the service. Registered and paid 3 hours ago. :/

    No way I'm parting with $2.2172345 of hard earned money. Way to risky IMO.

    How about torrent use?

    (profanity) it. For the price, I'll bite.

    Not sure why they need your name, address and phone number to create an account.

      Because you're buying a service from them and they probably want to know who they are dealing with.
      They'll also get your information from the PayPal transaction.

        Other Vpn providers let you pay with Bitcoin and don't ask for your personal details.

        • [Deactivated] on 06/08/2015 - 07:52

          The only payment option I saw for VPN.sh's offer was PayPal.

          @Thrift: I think Slo's point is that many other VPN providers are willing and able to create accounts and take payments without asking for personal details. The fact that they can get that information from Paypal doesn't address that point. It simply raises the additional question of why they don't offer other payment types that don't involve your details being handed to them.

      And you gave them real ones?

      • huu on 06/08/2015 - 08:52

        I also find it odd for VPN provider ask for contact detail on signing up… Anyway doesn't matter if you give them real detail or not at the bottom of sign up page it say "This order form is provided in a secure environment and to help protect against fraud your current IP address (xxx.xxx.xx.xxx) is being logged." - So they log you on sign up?
